Note 1429 — Chapter VIII · (continued 3)

The general accounts which had been earlier printed, and which were based on contemporary reports, were, on the English side, in John Knox’s Historical Journal of the Campaigns, 1757-60 (London, 1769), Mante’s History of the Late War (London, 1772, pp. 82-85), and Smith’s New York, ii. 246. To these may be added the reports which were printed in the newspapers and magazines of the time, like the Boston Gazette and the London Magazine. An important letter of John Burk from the camp at Fort Edward, July 28, 1757, is in the Israel Williams MSS. (Mass. Hist. Soc.).
